	            	            Now that was odd... how did my post get there twice? We really do need a mechanism to delete a review once it's been posted. I've asked Max to put that on a list of improvements.	            ]]></description>

	            	            Lots of great detail here, Joe. This took me back to my beginnings at Motorola's Communications Division where we would often hand make PCB's for prototype gear - or hobby stuff when we stayed late! If I dig into the garage archives, I could probably find a hand-crafted PCB or two from gear I built way back when.

The process we followed back then was almost exactly as you outlined here - one difference, we tended to go with bare boards and spray our own photo resist. The pre-sensitized boards you are using would probably be more consistent than what I created!

We had access to a commercial exposure unit that wasn't much different from what you show in the article. Our etch tank was a small fish tank with heater and a home made wooden lid. We used a commercially mixed Ferric Chloride from a local scientific supply house. All kept somewhat safely in the back corner of our lab.

Of course, in the day, we had no layout software, or even adequate printers, so all our layouts were done by hand with tape, pads and component templates. Nothing too miniature and an exacto knife was your best layout tool!

There is a lot of detail here, and just what the hobbyist needs. Thanks for putting this together. I'm sure it will be a great help to all who try to make their own PCB's.

	            	            Thanks for taking the time to write this Joe -- this is wonderful information -- I almost feel like I could make my own boards (but since you actually make mine for me I think I'll continue to leave it to the expert).

Seriously, I don't know where hobbyists could go to find this sort of information, so it's great that you are sharing your expertise like this.

Cheers -- Max	            ]]></description>
